Come check out our “Adopt-A-Kennel” program where our local individuals and businesses can show the community their support for our area’s homeless animals. A very special thanks to all of our sponsors for their continuing support. It’s the perfect way to honor someone or memorialize them by adopting a kennel in their name. Call us for more information or visit our website www.mccookhumanesociety.com for more information and to fill out a form online. You can also sponsor an adoption for one of our available pets if you’d like to help out in that way.
At this time the spay/neuter reimbursement fees are still being waived for the felines. We will continue to waive the spay/neuter fees until the Linda Hedges/Mary Ellinger Memorial fund is depleted. We have truly seen a dramatic increase in the feline adoptions since we’ve been able to waive the spay/neuter fees for them, let’s see if it helps with their barking friends.
We are very thankful to the generous folks who come in and donate the adoption fees for some of our available furry family members. At the moment, cats: “GoldWhisker” and “Mary Pawpins”, are sponsored! What does that mean exactly? It means that these two are absolutely no charge to an approved applicant, thanks to the generosity of the kind souls that made the donation.

Did ya know: How Often Do You Bathe Your Dog?
That all depends on your pet. It also depends on the time of year.
Factors include: his hair coat, hair length, how often he gets dirty, where he lives (if he is indoor or outdoors most of the time), shedding cycle, and any underlying skin problem. Some dogs need baths only a couple times a year while others need weekly grooming. It is beneficial to brush your dog about twice a week. Bathing your dog every month or two isn’t unreasonable, but some dogs will need more frequent cleanings.
While you’re having this bonding experience of bathing, it’s an awesome time to really check out your pet’s teeth, ears, check for lumps, and basically just do a home check on your pet. Check on the status of their flea/tick prevention. Vaccination up to date with the current information provided to your vet? Is it time for your pet to check in with the Veterinarian?
A good rule of thumb is to bathe your pet only when his coat gets dirty or begins to smell “doggy”.
